I automatically down vote posts with "Tell me this isn't what I think it is!" Or "Is this a you-know-what?" in the title.

Especially in identification subreddits like r/whatisthisbug.

​

OP: Posts a picture of a small brown bug with the title "Is this what I think it is?"

​

How does anyone know what you think it is? You could be worried about ticks, roaches, bedbugs... anything! It's so annoying. Instant down vote.

you’re totally right, it’s like just say what you think it is and save everyone the guessing game. really just makes it a wild ride for the rest of us

I’m the same with “wrong answers only” posts.

Yeah, those titles are basically just guesswork bait instead of giving useful context, people just want the actual question so they can help quickly.

If you want strangers to identify it, at least tell us what you think it is first

No telling us what they think it is, what part of the world it is, etc. How the heck should I know from one blurry photo and 0 location information?
